for what?

non-tech question will be moved to apperance forum accordingly.

 

ITRs are a bit off on the offset, you need to run some spacers to clear the caliper and make them look flusher.

 

arent ITR wheels 4X100? the accord is 4x114.3.

 

that's what I was gonna say but I think they're 5 lug though... err the ones I've seen are... they could be both but both integra's n civics have the same offset... 4/5 by 100... accords n preludes are 4/5 by 114.3

 

thats what i thought. i'd think they would be a little small too...since they come off a smaller car.

no the earliar year ITR and CTR came 4x114.3, if you search hard enough you will find quite a few Accords running around with Type-R wheels.

i vote Type-R depending on what color accord you have. they go well with darker colors in my opinion.

 

oh yes, type r wheels. is it even a question between the two?

 

well aint that something....the 96 teg type-Rs DO have a 4x114.3 bolt pattern. i'd say go with it then, i agree, the white wheels would look good with a darker cooler car.

 

exactley wat i was thinking mr moms

 

well, too bad i didn't read this forum right before i bought the ex rims. but the 96 itr wheels are 4x114 so thats why it fits.

 

ahh ******* dopey over here. o well. you live and you learn. im sure some type-r wheels will pop up in the future for you.

 

i like the acura cL rims on these accords too. the ones you have on yours NJ JDM CL. those will look nice when its cleaned up and shiney

 

I vote itr wheels friend has on his accord they look good.

 

ahh the acura CL wheels are okkkk. the only thing i like about them is that there 16".

 

When I was researching putting these on my car awhile ago, the accords' weight (3100lbs) vs the integra's weight (2550lbs) was raised as a potential 'weak link' in stressing these wheels. They were designed for a ~550 lb lighter car. Add in passengers and cargo and....well....you see where that is going.

eh.


You can also shave the calipers to have them better clear the wheels + spacers.

 

I'm in the process of buying some ITR wheels for my white coupe, should look bad ***

 

are you sure accords weigh 3100. because my CL weighs under 3100 (because its a 2.2CL) and accords are definitly lighter than my car.

 

edit lol conversion waayyy off

 

how much do those itr's usually cost? with center caps and tires.

Very sure. The ~"2800 lbs" floating around the net is bogus. At various times, different ppl here have weighed the car (at weigh stations) and it's around 3100lbs. Also....4 banger CL's and accord ex's have the same 2.2L engine w/ vtec.

Here's a new car review from 1994

http://www.theautochannel.com/....html

my m3 weighs less than the accord however @ 3075.

 

thas badass I learned sumthin new then... but the weight thing... I went n weighed mine... stock nothing taken out or ne thing it said my car weighed 2900 lbs... mine's a 98 4 door so mines big so I dont think two doors or the older accords weigh that much I think it'll be all good.

 

I'll be paying right over 500 for wheels and tires

That's a good price. I remember 3 years ago, sets I was seeing were ~$400 just for 4 rims. Watch out on the tires though; I'd be cautious hitting 110+ if the rubber is old and/or from japan 96'. No use totaling the car over $200 bucks worth of old UV & age weakened rubber.

 

Yeah I'll probably just be chilling on them for awhile then upgrade the tires after a bit (and i'm a good driver haha)
